Microsoft Visio Alternative -
Finally easy process management
Visio is undoubtedly a versatile and useful tool for visualizing processes and diagrams. It offers a wide range of features for creating flowcharts, organizational charts and other visual representations. However, there are some reasons why Visio alone may not be enough when it comes to comprehensive process management, especially in complex business environments.
The Visio Problem Beautiful drawings, but hardly anyone knows and uses them!
Microsoft Visio provides modelers with hundreds of shapes, all of which can be customized. In this way, the most complex process drawings can be created. Often, however, these are then only understood by the modeler himself. Storing and publishing these drawings for all employees in the company is also a problem, since Visio is installed as a local program on the modelers' computers. Exported files must be re-exported and uploaded to the appropriate locations each time changes are made.
Visio Alternative aiio - process management that can reach all employees
In aiio, we work with a reduced BPMN 2.0 shapeset that is intuitive to understand.
As a cloud solution in the Microsoft 365 ecosystem, the modeled processes from aiio are easily accessible to all employees at any time and always up-to-date.
Link documents - and roles - so much easier than with Visio
Processes and process elements such as tasks or events usually include responsibilities. In many cases, it makes sense to store these responsibilities. Many companies decide to work with roles instead of using concrete persons. This visualization is just about possible in Visio, although it is very time-consuming and not particularly user-friendly. However, there is no link to which person in the company is currently performing the role.In aiio this works quite easily. All shapes on the drawing can be enriched with metadata via the sidebar.
Visio alternative for the Mac- no problem as a web application
Our Visio alternative aiio works as a web application directly in the browser, such as in Google Chrome. So there is no need to download a program to your computer. Additionally, you can use aiio directly in Microsoft Teams as an app. You can also log in with your account from different devices - no matter when and where you want.
Visio Online Alternative - More overview please!
For some time now, Visio has also been available as a web application with a significantly reduced range of functions. You can thus use Visio Online from any device, provided you have purchased a Visio Plan for each of your users. However, the problems of the confusing assignment of responsibilities, which the classic Visio Professional also has, still remain.
The simplest Visio alternative is called aiio:
In summary - why aiio could be interesting for you:
- aiio is also at home in the Microsoft universe - incl. user-friendly interface in Microsoft design
- Document maintenance (SharePoint Online) possible directly at the processes

- Approval, release and versioning with built-in.
